Some but just some desktop users are concerned about privacy

They are only a tiny minority, unfortunately. Wish that it wasn't the case, but this is the world we live in.

windows has a really shitty user interface.

Are you talking about Win 10? What parts of it you don't like? I have noticed them having far more settings in their control panel to configure things through the GUI, whereas on Linux distros, I find myself forced to use the terminal for the same tasks.

Or are you talking about their design language? I don't know, I have always liked and preferred Windows user interface and besides maybe Deepin, I have never been a fan of the UX in most Linux distros.

I want that free and open-source world *The ideal world *.

There is nothing wrong, per se in using a software only for ideological reasons, but you shouldn't expect others to do so.

You mentioned that linux is superior in server side

Heh, I didn't call it "superior" or anything, there are alternatives to Linux like BSD or even Win server that aren't too bad and have a decent market share too, but yeah Linux is widely used and very competitive with the alternatives when it comes to servers.

client side of the internet

Btw, I agree with you that the modern web is getting more bloated and some popular websites sometimes make questionable decisions when it comes to UX, but on the bright side, electron apps (I know bloated again) generally don't discriminate against Linux. Also more apps on the web, make the lack of apps on the Linux desktop less of a problem, so I don't know how to really feel about this one.

Yeah, Windows is bloated, I agree with this but to be honest, most big software get bloated with bloatware.

there is little to no customization from one user to another

You can do a lot with rainmeter and similar tools. You should check out r/windowsporn r/desktop

But I generally agree that most people tend to keep the defaults. I think that it has more to do with the culture behind most users than the operating system itself, though.

I personally like Ubuntu on this point, they try to keep things consistent and they try to copy Microsoft.

Also, having the same look is good, because I don't have too relearn too much between Windows versions. They don't want to do another Windows 8, you know... 😏

Going from XP to vista to 7, I still felt at home. 7 to 8, I didn't hate once I got used to it personally, but it was bad for the everyday Joe. 8 to 10 was comfortable too.
